Is the US dollar really that strong?
Yeah, it is, look at the charts!
I don't think that the US dollar is getting stronger, it's the euro that is getting weaker. This might be temporary.
Again check the charts, the $ is destroying every currency, it has won 7% even against the swiss frank.
Having a strong national currency while having gigantic multi-trillion dollar budget deficit and national debt seems like complete nonsense to me.
When your national debts are in the same currency you can print yourself you can have whatever debt you want, as long as people trust you to pay back that debt there is no problem, besides, most of the debt is held by the country itself through different layers of creditors, so no real reason for it to become unserviceable soon. As for the budget deficit, the same story, you can just print more!
I've heard it from someone who's focused in forex trading. He said that in times like this, the best currency to put money to and is like a safe haven for them is JPY.
Doesn't look like "safe" heaven to me:
compared to investing in USD, I prefer to invest in RMB.. the main reason is China's domestic market is very large and many countries have started using RMB as their international trade currency and RMB is more stable than USD
You're investing in a currency that has limited floating, with the central bank allowing it a limited appreciation/depreciation again a basket of currencies?
